Alex DeMarco is going to get himself disbarred if he continues to behave in the unethical manner I…read morewitnessed. He doesn't understand family law, quite obviously, and broke several procedural court rules including attempting to litigate my case outside of a hearing and trials, which did nothing but irritate the judge. He also routinely missed court mandated deadlines using lame excuses like "I didn't have any internet" "I was on the road on another case" and so forth. I could go on and on about his erratic and unethical behavior, it was pretty non-stop from beginning to end. There's a reason he's cheap and it's not worth even that much money.

Alex Demarco was recommended to me by a friend that attended the same university as he. After our…read moreinitial phone call and subsequent meeting, I felt confident that he was the right attorney for me. Receiving the contract with the wrong client name and agreement terms, should have been my first clue that although Alex says (and quite possibly believes) all the right things, his attention to detail and ability to deliver falls short. Over the course of 7 months, my experience with Alex was wrought with one excuse after another. Here are just a few...("My sister-in-law is in the hospital." "You've caught me at a pretty horrible part if life at the moment." "Sorry, I was so sleep-deprived from jury trial." "Understand i have a murder case that's absolutely occupying my time here.") Initially, I was sympathetic to his plight. But eventually, I came to the point where I just wanted my lawyer to represent ME (his client, who incidentally paid in full upfront). That, and his adventurous Facebook posts didn't seem to jive with the excuses he was giving me. In the end, it took Alex 7 months to obtain a simple video from campus pd, and that took me riding him the entire time. Although incomplete evidence was eventually supplied to him, Alex neither questioned/followed up it, nor did he return any of my attempts to contact him further. I regret 100% my decision to hire him. Given my personal experience, I'd recommend steering clear.

I have paid Travis close to 6 grand for criminal charges that have been redundant from the courts…read morefor violation of harassment restraining orders. Travis was not a great advocate and did not make me feel comfortable with him as my representative. He painted his own character of me and treated me as guilty throughout the whole process, and everything he told me has not been factual. He has gotten mad when I asked relevant questions and has used the 'I've been busy with trial' excuse multiple times when consulting about my case. He's very microaggressive and will do anything to make sure he proves his point if you question his advocacy as your lawyer. We have now reached a mutual agreement for him no longer to represent me after he rudely hung up the phone on me because he thought I was trying to blame him for something I already pleaded guilty to and have taken full accountability for. Definitely look further than Travis if you want advocacy that treats you like a human rather than a criminal throughout your whole case.

I was on the website, and, without acting - a calendar popped up. I was strong-armed into booking an appointment with Carla the intake Lead. Well I book it, but then in the morning Carla e-mails me and tells me she's kicking it down to an entry level intake employee - which I resisted because my case is complex and I wanted someone with experience. Well I didn't get my way, the firm insisted that I get a greenhorn. The new intake person ended up getting fired or quit, but not before wasting my time. The first call was a standard 25 minutes and I submitted a timeline for her as well. 6 days later I get a text saying "Since you're not fired, we can't represent you, but reach out to us immediately if you DO get fired." Those were exactly the terms of rejecting me and leaving the door open. Well a few weeks later my employer ramps up the shenanigans threatening to fire me, then finally does - so I reach back out as instructed. The file is re-opened at Wanta, I'm told GREAT NEWS the attorney is taking a look! Then I had an attorney Kristan call me for another intake. I took the time to send her a detailed updated timeline. She called back with a retainer offer on another day and asked me to open it on the phone. I questioned the high fee and the fact that Wanta Thome will NOT coordinate with EEOC or NLRB inquiries/charges. Compared to what the website says, this seems to make no sense for an employee who did diligence before getting fired who already wants to use those agencies to help out his co-workers and himself. What's disturbing is the amount of wasted time. I TOLD THEM RIGHT AWAY ON THE PHONE AND IN MY TIMELINE THAT I HAVE AN NLRB CHARGE AND EEOC INQUIRY!!! IT TOOK THEM 45 DAYS TO REALIZE IT. I could have been told that initially, it could have been listed on the website in some form. Nobody on the planet it my situation would read the website and be led to believe anything otherwise. The intake process was wonky. Kristen on multiple phone calls assumed I was in Minnesota WHEN I CLEARLY AM IN CHICAGO and corrected her multiple times. They're just not paying full attention. ALSO she said She'd have to ask the partners about the EEOC/NLRB clause in the contract - she said she can't speak with them for 5 days because they're "away" -- I'm sorry, You have a huge law firm in multiple states - and the top 2 partners are going to be off the radar for a week? Do they meditate in the far east? That makes no sense. I respect any attorney's decision to decline a case for whatever reason - but at no point was I led to believe anything other than WANTA THOME IS THE PERFECT FIRM TO REPRESENT ME. I knew it was a wonky process but I told myself - as long as I get retained and they can help me - it'll be worth it. I was wrong. They offered to retain me - and all I said was "hey - do they mind doing something that their website makes it seem like they would totally do?" Advice to the firm - don't put Retaliation, Wrongful Termination, Discrimination on your website if you're not going to coordinate with NLRB or EEOC. Just put in big letters at the top "WE WANT TO SEND A LETTER FOR A HIGH FEE AND IF IT DOESNT WORK WE'RE BACKING OUT." A severe waste of my time - it's not OK - I'll never get it back. They don't really pay attention. I'm not sure what types of cases these reviews come or if they're incentivezed to send them in - but for the sake of helping people who need help - if you see any of these warning signs, consider going somewhere else. IM SO GLAD I DIDNT SIGN THAT RETAINER WITHOUT FIGHTING FOR A SENSIBLE CONTRACT. Change your website
